Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon canola or grape seed oil
1 teaspoon medium-hot chili powder (more to taste)
1 teaspoon ground lightly toasted cumin seeds (more to taste)
2 cans black beans, with liquid
Salt to taste
8 corn tortillas
1 cup fresh or bottled salsa
3 ounces either queso fresco, feta, or sharp cheddar, grated or crumbled
2 cups shredded cabbage

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add the chili powder and ground cumin. Allow the spices to sizzle for about half a minute, until very fragrant, and stir in the black beans and 1/2 cup water. Cook, stirring and mashing the beans with the back of your spoon, for 5 to 10 minutes, until thick and fragrant. Be careful that you don't let the beans dry out too much. If they do, add a little more water. Remove from the heat.
  • Heat the tortillas, two or three at a time, in a dry skillet over medium-high heat, or in a microwave. Top with the black beans, salsa, cheese and cabbage. Fold the filled tortillas over if desired and serve. Alternatively, one at a time, place a tortilla on a plate, top with the beans and cheese and heat through for 30 seconds to a minute in a microwave. Then top with salsa and a generous handful of cabbage, and serve.
